  • Studio made with Hollywood filmmaker Matthew Vaughn to create innovative content.
  • Ronaldo branching into the entertainment industry as soccer career winds down.

Cristiano Ronaldo has dominated the world of soccer, setting records and winning trophies both as an individual and as a team. He then took over the world of YouTube by setting the record for gaining the most subscribers in 24 hours with 19,792,827, and now he's setting his sights on the entertainment industry. There appears to be nothing to stop the Portuguese international, and he is now aiming to make a significant dent in the world of Hollywood.

While Ronaldo has flexed his acting skills in various advertisements throughout his career, he is setting his sights much further than simply landing a role in a television show or a movie. Instead, he's launched his own film studio in a joint venture.

The soccer icon surprised the world by revealing that he is teaming up with Hollywood filmmaker Matthew Vaughn to launch UR.Marv, their new film studio, is an independent studio being financed by the two men in a bid to break tradition within the industry and create something new. A statement for the studio pushed them as two industry disrupters who admire the world of the other and are now looking to make something both innovative and traditional.

It's a surprising situation, given that Ronaldo isn't someone who people would typically associate with movies, but he is obviously a fan of the industry and is now looking to push into it himself from a behind-the-scenes perspective. It's unclear whether he will act at some point, but it's certainly caught people's attention. While Ronaldo doesn't have experience, he has no shortage of star power and following, being one of the most famous people on the planet. That alone will likely bring a lot of attention from fans, while Vaughn will provide the industry knowledge. He's been involved in some huge franchises throughout his career, from the Kingsman movies to Kick-Ass, Layer Cake, and X-Men: First Class.

The first movie being created by this new studio is yet to be announced, but it's certainly something that people will be paying a lot of attention to. Of course, people will immediately be asking is whether or not a biopic on Ronaldo's life is going to be in the works. Biopics can be massive hits when done right, and considering Ronaldo's worldwide appeal and the unique life he's led at the top of the soccer industry at both club and international levels. There would no doubt be tons of interest in a movie based on his life, and that's something his studio could explore.

Ronaldo is still playing soccer for Saudi Pro League's Al Nassr and his national side, Portugal, as he continues to be a goal threat in every game he plays. However, at the age of 40, he is starting to wind down and come to the end of his footballing career. That's why it makes sense that he's starting to branch out into other ventures, such as his YouTube channel and now a film studio, as it will provide him with revenue streams and businesses to work on after his soccer career is over.
